Zoar Gap Boat Ramp
Zoar Gap Boat Ramp
Zoar Gap boat ramp provides access to the Deerfield River below the challenging Class III Zoar Gap rapid, with a takeout trail located approximately 100 feet upstream of the bridge and another access point near the power company picnic area.
This location is popular for tubing and paddling, though parking is limited and strictly enforced; tubers should put in below the Gap rather than attempting to float through it, as it is significantly more dangerous than the rest of the run.
Important safety note: wear a PFD at all times, avoid pool toy floats, and be aware of hazards including strainers (trees), rocks, and foot entrapment risks in shallow fastwater.
